Patrick Beverley was arrested on Friday in Texas and charged with assault of a family/household member, per TMZ Sports.
According to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s office, a “family violence incident” between relatives resulted in deputies being sent to the home. Beverley was booked and had a bond set at $40K, which he posted.
“Please don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Hope all is well,” Beverley tweeted on Friday night.
“Patrick Beverley has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister — a young lady, a minor,” Beverley’s lawyer said in a statement sent to TMZ. “Given that, when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night, he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described, and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court.”
Jenna West of The Athletic writes that the investigation remains ongoing and that the police have not released additional details.
Beverley spent 12 seasons in the NBA and appeared in 666 regular season games, but has been out of the league since 2023/24. He spent part of last season with Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.
Seems everyday a (millionaire) athlete is arrested. Gambling, working with the mafia, attempted murder, assault
Yeah, because Patrick Beverly is clearly an outstanding citizen. lol
I probably wouldn’t respond well if I found an 18 year old dude with my underage sister either
